Typical suspension symptoms owners report
- Tires develop cracking or tread separation on the inner sidewall or between tread lines, often noticed well before or shortly after the recall window's cutoff.
- Tires lose air pressure repeatedly, triggering the low tire pressure warning and requiring frequent refilling even when no puncture is found.
- A rear tire blew out at highway speed, causing the vehicle to shudder and swerve before the driver could pull over.
- Owners report tires being excluded from the recall despite showing the same tread cracking or dry rot described in the recall notice.
- A power steering pump and high-pressure hose failed and needed replacement, with the owner noting GM later issued an upgraded pump design.
